Bet £20 get £40 in free bets with Unibet ahead of Sunderland vs Fulham

Aug 30, 2026 - 07:15

Sunderland host Fulham at the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon, with both sides still looking for their first points of the season. The hosts lost 2-1 at Ipswich, while Fulham were beaten 3-2 at home by Chelsea on Monday night.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, Unibet are offering new customers the chance to net £40 in free bets. Simply sign up via our link, deposit £20, and place a single £20 bet on any sports market at odds of evens or better.

Sunderland had 62.5% of the ball at Portman Road and lost anyway. Both Ipswich goals came from their own turnovers, and the winner arrived in the 90th minute through Jack Clarke, a former Sunderland winger. Nilson Angulo’s free kick was the one bright spot, with Régis Le Bris admitting afterwards that his side need more composure.

Fulham lost Álvaro Arbeloa’s first game in charge, but not for want of ambition. Joshua King and debutant Gonzalo García scored against Chelsea, who were ahead inside 31 seconds and never lost the lead. Joachim Andersen has been suspended since the start of the season and Tom Cairney is out until October after knee surgery.

A timely boost for a fixture that has gone Fulham’s way twice in the last year.

Sunderland’s Stadium of Light record to find out Fulham’s young back line

The recent history here belongs to Fulham. They won 3-1 at the Stadium of Light in February, Raúl Jiménez scoring twice, having already taken the reverse fixture 1-0 in November. Monday night was a reminder of the same attacking quality, with Arbeloa’s front line carrying real threat even in defeat.

The away record underneath it is the problem. Fulham won only four of their 19 away league games last season, keeping a clean sheet in three of them. They took 35 of their 52 points at Craven Cottage. Sunderland finished seventh and did most of their work at home, banking 33 of their 54 points there, winning nine and losing four. Arbeloa has also lowered the age of his squad, and a back line missing Andersen looked naive against Chelsea.

Sunderland to win
Both teams to score

Arbeloa has inherited Fulham’s home form and their away form, and only one of those is any use to him on Wearside.
